Description: Ancient oil painting on canvas depicting the Immaculate Virgin and Jesus "Hunter".

Mary Immaculate is depicted with Jesus in her arms who kills the serpent with the cross, indicating that Mary is preserved from sin, but it is Jesus who took away sin from the world with her cross.

Generally the Immaculate Conception is represented as the "woman of the Apocalypse": standing, surrounded by light against a background of sky, blessed by the Eternal Father and dominated by the Dove of the Holy Spirit, with a halo of twelve stars and with feet on a crescent moon under which there is an aggressive serpent, often in the form of a dragon (in the first case to remember the original sin, in the second to remember the vision of the Apocalypse).

In fact, our she is represented with the serpent at her feet to remember the original sin and is surrounded by a host of Angels and cherubs.

The splendid workmanship and the refined colouring, evidently of the highest level, in fact suggest the attribution to a very talented author operating in Naples in the first half of the eighteenth century.

The characters are well modelled, the brushstroke is full-bodied and the use of chiaroscuro creates volume and plasticity. The light illuminates the figures creating areas of chiaroscuro between the drapery of the dress, on which the use of the color blue and pink is also evident, superimposed on the underlying colors, to give greater emphasis to the figures.
